PRAKSIS (Programs Of Development, Social Support And Medical Cooperation) is an independent Non-Governmental Organization in Greece, the main mission of which is the design, application and implementation of humanitarian programs and medical interventions.

PRAKSIS’ main goal is the elimination of the social and economic exclusion of vulnerable social groups and the defense of their personal and social rights. The three axes of their work are prevention, direct intervention/support, lobbying and advocacy.

PRAKSIS implements programs throughout Greece, concentrating on Attica, Central Macedonia, the island of Lesvos and the city of Patras and its surrounding areas. PRAKSIS’ mobile medical units travel to the Northern Aegean islands, to the Dodecanese, and to Northern Greece.

PRAKSIS, through the implementation of European programs, also collaborates and participates in networks with other EU members concerning research, advocacy, policy changes, exchange of good practices, lobbying, and the development of horizontal and vertical information, relating to the defense and support of vulnerable populations.
